An Actual Case to Start With

the right melody. Her mother tells all herco-workers that Justine has a great gift for music.
Is she right?

Hypothetical Situation
A kindergarten teacher comes to see you. She wants to do musical activities with her students.
How much time should she devote to music each day (in minutes)?

Hypothetical Situation
You create an activity on how to recognize low, mid-range and high sounds. Do you think that most 4-year-olds will be able to carry out this
activity?

A Good Way to Teach a Nursery Rhyme
• First recite the entire nursery rhyme.• Then recite the nursery rhyme line by line.• Ideally, never recite the nursery rhyme at
the same time as the students.

Discovering Musicograms
Musicograms can be defined as soundscapes;they are designed to introduce well-known music,
often classical, by connecting it to a story. This is a good way to develop children’s interest in literature
and in a musical genre they may not know very well.
